Synergy recently provided a day of workshops for Piper Hill School in Manchester for a Health and Wellbeing project. The goal was to provide enrichment for students and the project aimed at improving their students’ health and wellbeing through the arts. Synergy provided one workshop for independent students and one for structured students. The workshops were dance/drama workshops exploring identifying feelings and emotions and how to express them. Synergy ran an entire day of workshops for different groups and the day was very fulfilling for the students.
